a container

A new workshop

by textile artist Debbie Lyddon

She makes amazing work

mostly inspired by the coastal area

where she lives in the UK

She demonstrated how to make a container (vessel, pouch)

for some treasure

(to find for yourself outside

or in the house)

In my search for something special

I landed with a box with a collection

of ladybugs

(the ladybugs used to be in the downstairs toilet,

but when that got renovated

the ladybugs went into a box

and never came out of there again)

I painted the fabric, made a template and started sewing.

The fun thing is the peep hole in it

where you can see a tiny bit of what's inside

I like it

(and am thinking about some other treasure

to give a special hiding place !)
